2015 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · WK15 TCZ

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a trend of worsening mechanical wear and reactive maintenance. While it passed its March March 2026 test at 136,707 miles, this followed a failure just three days prior. The recent history reveals a cluster of developing faults across the suspension and lighting systems. The presence of a persistent oil leak across multiple test years suggests that the vehicle is only repaired when necessary to pass inspection rather than through a preventative service schedule. At 136,707 miles over eleven years, this Peugeot Partner averages approximately 12,400 miles per year, indicating consistent heavy use rather than long periods of inactivity. The mileage accumulation between March 2024 and March 2025 was 8,539 miles, followed by a further 11,377 miles in the subsequent year. This high annual mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain and rubber suspension components, which is evidenced by the fractured offside front coil spring noted in 2025 and the emerging play in the ball joints. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the tester has repeatedly flagged issues with anti-roll bar linkages, track rod end dust covers, and ball joints. The deterioration of these rubber boots indicates that grit is entering the joints, which will accelerate mechanical failure. The engine bay should be examined for the extent of the reported oil leak, which has transitioned from excessive in 2025 to non-excessive in 2026. Furthermore, the ABS and electronic stability control systems must be verified functional to ensure the faults recorded in 2025 were fully rectified and not merely cleared.
